rest of us. This doesn't mean that our
home life is suddenly one even ribbon of
harmony and serenity, but I think we are
moving slowly in the right direction,
And now, what about yourself? I
wish we could sit down together at the
table here with your postum and my tea and
have a good visit. Our finances are beginning
to act the way we thought they should now
that we are In a home instead of a hotel,
and I find I am often wondering how you are
getting along in your financial status?
We got word from home this month that my
life insurance policy is paid up now for a
life, and if you ever have an emergency ]
need for money we can borrow on that. (It 5
is the one I took out when I first started ;
teaching. "matures when you are 43 years
old".sounded like a long time away when
she said it"., It is a $2500 policy. I was
hoping that we couid send you a regular
alottment beginning when you went home this
year. We were both disappointed when we
realized that you were paying your way while
you lived with us, In groceries. That left
us with no feeling of giving in return for
your help. I h&pe you won't on future trips
to ugden, if,ycm still like us well enough to
want to come when you don't feel necessary.
Have a good Christmas. It may be
our last peaceful one for a few years, judged
from this angle. Give our love to all the
family and tell them that we will have gifts
from here for the children when we get back
to the u. S. MERRY CHIISTMAS
